And We’re Off!

And now, 3 months after the wedding, we are en route to Argentina and Uruguay for our honeymoon. We are so excited for this adventure and for a full 3 week vacation! Can you see the excitement on our faces?! Our bags are packed, our shoes are tied, our iPads are full of entertainment for the journey from San Francisco to Buenos Aires!

I'll try to post blogs pretty frequently on our trip, but here's a preview of the cities we will be visiting (I'm not sure some of these qualify as cities, but you get the point):

Buenos Aires (a glorious city where we will eat steak and ice cream)
El Calafate (stop 1 in Patagonia, for glaciers and hiking)
El Chalten (stop 2 in Patagonia, more glaciers and hiking)
Bariloche de San Carlos (from what we're told, this is a cross between the Swiss Alps and Lake Tahoe… sounds amazing!)
Mendoza (the wine growing and tasting capital of South America; how could we not?!)
back to Buenos Aires (for more steak, ice cream, leather shopping, tango, and whatever else you do in B.A.)
Piriapolis (a beach town in Uruguay, just south of the crazy Punta del Este)
Colonia del Sacramento (a world heritage colonial city in Uruguay, just across the water from B.A.)

Wish us luck! On a side note, we will be spending NYE in a “town” with less than 300 permanent residents, and it will probably not get dark until 11 pm or so. Talk about a new way to bring in the new year!
